Unique to MSM: The undergraduate Unified Core Curriculum

The undergraduate Unified Core Curriculum was initiated by the 音乐的历史 department in 1994. During the freshman 和 sophomore years, students in the classical division immerse themselves in the Unified Core Curriculum, a sequence of courses especially designed to unify, 协调, 和 integrate basic studies in music theory, 音乐的历史, 和 the humanities.

The core sequence includes seminars in which students actively participate through discussion 和 writing 和 lecture classes in which concepts of theory, 音乐的历史, 和 the progression of Western civilization are described. The Unified Core Curriculum prepares the undergraduate student to take specialized elective courses in the junior 和 senior years.

Specific courses 和 degree sequence plans can be found in the Course Catalog.​
